These are recommendations made by tropers for ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. After a few samples, you will be able to note the interests of the tropers recommending them, and judge whether you might be also interested in a certain 'fic.

Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[FanficRecommendations here]][[note]]a copy of the template is just below[[/note]]. Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexual[[note]]please note this includes all sexual activity, not just homosexual or bisexual, including het.[[/note]] or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

Reviews of fics are encouraged, but if you choose to write one, please make it substantive, and give specific details about what you liked / disliked in the fic. If you want to give a fic a thumbs-up without writing a full review, you can add your troper handle to the Recommendations Line. Please refrain from posting "Comments" or Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage though; that goes in the discussion page.

[[folder:Recommendations Template]]Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link)* Recommended by: Troper Name* ''Synopsis:'' What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.* ''Pairing(s):'' If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.* ''Tags:'' If any are known. This would be things like {{WAFF}}, {{Lemon}}, DarkFic, any known {{Crossover}}s etc.[[/folder]]

----[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Archives, Authors and Websites]][[http://aadler.iwarp.com/1_storyindex.htm The Backstage Series]] by Aadler.* Recommended by @/{{Robert}}* Several stories, taking placing on the edges of the main series, all in the same continuity. Excellent worldbuilding. Includes some AU stories and minor crossovers.

[[http://www.allaboutspike.com All About Spike]]* Recommended by @/{{Lagomorph}}* Spike-focused archive, though beyond the Spike focus, pretty much anything goes -- any pairing (not necessarily romantic), genre, or time frame. Lots of good stuff. No longer updated, but is in no danger of going down any time soon, as far as I can tell.

''Angel: No Limits''* Recommended by @/MonSolo* Set after Angel season 5, with enough material to constitute an entire season 6. Each story is the equivalent of one episode. The stories are brilliantly written, with all of the characters spot-on. Alternates between funny, heart-wrenching, tense, and occasionally sexy. There are some mild slashy vibes (mostly Angel/Spike and Angel/Wes) but nothing explicit. Written several years before the s6 comics were released, so would be considered an alternate continuity.

[[http://buffygiles.net/ The Buffy/Giles Fanfiction Archive]]* Recommended by allthebloodybrits* Focusing only on the Buffy/Giles pairing, this website is perfect for shippers of this rare ship. It's frequently updated, and as of 2/8/13 has 817 fics and series in the archive. Started in 2007, it is still going strong.

''FanFic/TheNyazianProphecies''* Recommended by Tropers/AmyJade* A ''Buffy''/''Angel'' spin-off virtual series featuring Connor as he deals with his memories of being in Quor'toth and becomes a "boy-slayer," and Andrew as his Watcher. Great writing, great original characters and character development of the existing characters, and some very interesting developments of the ''Buffy'' mythology. Unfortunately won't be completed, but the creator has written out an outline of the movies that would have followed the series.

[[http://www.neon-hummingbird.com/suns/fanfic1.html Stories of Christina Kamnikar]]* Recommended by @/OperationShoestring* Excellent works that really capture the tone of Buffy's earlier seasons. Her best known work, the ''{{Smallville}}'' crossovers ''[[http://www.neon-hummingbird.com/suns/fanfic/kiki/runawaytrains.html Runaway Trains at 3 AM]]'' and ''[[http://www.neon-hummingbird.com/suns/fanfic/kiki/linescommunication.html Lines of Communication]]'' are highly recommended.

[[http://www.btvschosen.com Stories by Jet Wolf]]* Recommended by Andrew* A particularly good writer with a talent for character voices. Her continuation of Buffy focuses on returning the Scoobies to their family dynamic and does so in a realistic manner. Essentially, if you disliked General!Buffy, Plotless!Xander or Distanced!Scoobies this fic is the answer. You can test the waters [[http://www.jetwolf.com/buffy/dolphins/ here]] with some of her gen fic.

[[http://www.realmoftheshadow.com/madhamlet.htm Stories by Mad-Hamlet]]* Recommended by Patrick* Femslashy work that manages the impossible -- being authentically dark without a ''drop'' of Main/{{Wangst}}. The best of his work causes one to proclaim Mad-Hamlet as Buffy's [[MyRealDaddy real daddy]]. This is a man who takes EarnYourHappyEnding to heart. Must reads include "Prisms" and "Deeper."

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/122787/Meltha Stories by Meltha]]* Recommended by ManCalledTrue:* I have yet to see someone else nail the characters quite so well. No new ones in a while, but Meltha was rather prolific before then. Personal favorites: "''Who Died and Made You the Iron Chef?''" and "''Never Send Mom and Sis to a Vamp''". Mostly OriginalFlavor with some angsty diversions.** "''Combined Forces''" is a brilliant piece of humor.* '''Note:''' Stories on this page are not just ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', but also include ''Series/{{Angel}}, ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', ''ComicBook/TheSandman'', ''Series/{{Firefly}}, Creator/WilliamShakespeare, ''Literature/HarryPotter'', ''Series/{{Lost}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'', ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Film/TheGodfather'', ''FraggleRock'', ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', ''Series/QuantumLeap'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', ''Literature/JaneEyre'', ''Film/BatmanBegins'', and ''Film/TheDark Knight''.

[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/ Twisting the Hellmouth]] (Archive)* Recommended by Tropers/MickeyMoose* The largest collection of ''Buffy'' crossover stories outside of FanFiction.net. If you look hard enough on this archive, you can find crossovers for just about ''everything'', including obscure cartoons, vaguely known literary sources, and fandoms so small they're only comprised of two people. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but that's how it feels.

[[http://gumboy.livejournal.com/54989.html The Watcher Series, Season One]] and [[http://gumboy.livejournal.com/80750.html Season Two]] by Gumboy.* Recommended by Tropers/{{Roo}}* A spin-off virtual series that takes place seven years after S7 and centers on Xander -- now armed with Cordelia-style visions and a magic eight ball that actually does tell the truth -- moving to Cape Kenneth to be the Watcher for a young Slayer named Olivia "Liv" Fontaine (you may remember her as the baseball-playing little girl from the very last episode). The series is rather OC-heavy, and is written in ScriptFic format, but don't let that scare you; the format is used well and captures the traditional witty banter and horror-comedy feel of the Buffyverse, and the [=OCs=] are likeable and interesting. The classic ''Buffy'' and ''Angel'' characters also feature heavily, as the older and established generation which are on call for when the big guns are needed... though apart from Xander (and eventually Spike, who becomes a regular, major character in the second season), most of them remain secondary characters.** Unfortunately, the second season hasn't been updated since the sixteenth episode in 2007 -- and that episode ends on a rather nasty cliffhanger. There's also some Xander/OC romance, as Xander gets involved with Liv's mother Lucy (who in a staggering break from tradition knows all about her daughter's Slayer powers from the get-go). Consider yourself warned.[[/folder]]

[[folder:General Fics]]''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''%% Crossovers have a separate section

(PeggySue, peripheral femmeslash)* Recommended by: @/LooneyToons, boonerunner, @/FrodoLives, @/DemiserofD, {{apprenticebard}}* ''Synopsis'': At one end of his life, a 90+-year-old Xander lies dying. At the other end of his life, a teenage Xander decides to dress up as ''himself,'' only older, for a fateful Halloween. Time twists, and the life of the Slayer(s) will never be the same again. (As an extra bonus, the author has posted an annotated and footnoted version of the story on his [=LiveJournal=] that is invaluable to anyone wanting to study the mind of a writer and how/why he writes things the way he does.)

While not exactly happy with the situation, he'll use what he can remember of the first season to make the best of his situation and maybe make some better choices than the "real" Buffy did. Now if only (s)he can figure out why there's a 10-year-old Dawn hanging around. Oh, and yeah, stop obviously drooling over Willow.

''[[http://fanfiction.tenhawkpresents.com/viewstory.php?sid=220&warning=3 Matryoshka]]'' by Danyel Woods (mild AU, some violence against major characters)* Recommended by: @/Trace_Coburn* ''Synopsis'': The Scooby Gang thought they might actually get a breather in the brief span between Graduation and college... but this is ''Sunnydale'', and they really should have known better.

While there, he has a surprise encounter with a creature that shouldn't exist. Oneshot, complete.

AU.)* Recommended by: @/GreyPaladin, @/HG131.* ''Synopsis'': This AU fic ignores the Buffy Season Eight comics completely, as well as ignoring Season Five of ''Series/{{Angel}}''. It opens with the Scythe-powered activation of two high school girls in a small Midwestern city, follows them as they learn about being Slayers, and features the addition of the Scooby Gang very early in the fic.

With that advantage, and her superb people skills, she could easily make Xander suffer as she had suffered while gaining herself a golden reputation into the bargain. She would be feted as the saviour of the world; Xander and Willow reduced to cringing wretches, held in utter contempt by all, even each other.

The cave demon sends him back in time 3 years - but wipes his memory of the intervening time! Will the same things happen all over again - or will it work out a little differently? Could this be a second chance not only for Spike, but for Buffy and the Scooby Gang? In a world in which “Kick the Spike” is a game more dangerous than juggling with nitro-glycerine, can they learn to respect the vampire and avoid the mistakes they made first time round? Or will entirely new mistakes lead them to a different but equally catastrophic destination?

With her bumbling assistant Myles, over-enthusiastic demon-slaying friend Faith and an all-too-sexy employer who collects death masks, Willow is about to realize that perilous danger comes even to those who least want it.
